The men in the big truck came today

and took away all our bedroom furniture

no it was not repossessed

we are redecorating

after 30 years of

the same old bed

the same old dresser

the same old chest of drawers

i asked the wife

why is it

everything we have is Old?

she laughed and said

because We are

I just hope that

no one comes to take me away

like the bedroom set

I've been here even longer than it

and I am also out of date

I probably need a new look

but I've gotten used to this old face

the only face I've ever had

it's stuck by me all these years

and I do not want to uplift it or stretch

or take away its wrinkles

my face is out of warranty

but still can smile

and laugh

and sometimes cry

a bedroom set can be replaced

a face lasts a lifetime

let's face it

this face of mine is priceless..
